3DWI is crazy cause watching the popular video essays you get supernatural reading which in itself could become its own essay related to themes in the work about people unwilling to reflect where the line is drawn between discussing fantasy and discussing reality, but then also there is an interpretation where there is a somewhat supernatural aspect to the story and its about a sort of community forming around shared subconscious desires to be heard projected onto something else. Mr Petscop is out here writing like 5D stories its so good.

This is a pretty good point in the wip to share this, methinks :]

Map part for the hole dwelling map, starring... Not my ocs! I wanted to use ocs, but I don't have any-- so I just used the characters from a fic I was reading at the time 😂

Turns out, the symbolism was so much fun to twist into the 11 seconds I had to work with, I ended up going way more complex than I meant to. If you wanna read the fic this was based on, please do!! And tell the author I said hi! :D

while my mind is still on the subject of transfem genderfluid taichi. i very recently got around to reading SSR family and my main takeaway after getting through all the backstage stories for it, and then especially after also reading citron's backstage story for devil maid's holiday, was this:

IDK how deep into BB and NGE lore you are, but I'm going insane after rewatching EoE. Like everyone knows about Ore ga Ichiro. But no one is talking about how Air in the G string, which is sampled for New Star, was used in EoE during the pinnacle of Asuka's growth as a character (and for a bad ass fight!) Now I'm going insane trying to figure out what is Jiro's connection. I'm trying to look at just the songs themselves, but even then that's tricky....

i’ve never gone off the deep end for nge lol so i don’t think i can contribute too much tbh!!!! but i think that’s a fantastic catch in recognising that saburo and asuka both utilise air in the g string, like whenever i think of nge and bb, it’s usually the

gendo🟰rei parallels in doing the most shady shit for his wife

rei🟰ramuda parallels as clones created for a purpose they cannot escape from and their growth into self identity

shinji🟰ichiro parallels for even tho shinji’s personality is completely different from ichiro’s lol, they have the same issue of not really moving until pointed in the direction they need to go, and some other stuff i think might constitute as a deep dive analysis on both their characters i don’t think i’m very qualified to give lol (eg a reliance on the comfort of familiarity/unwillingness to trust others etc)

which i believe is the usual analysis lol. i def can’t help you out music wise (it’s been forever never mind not being musically trained lmao) but thematically???? why couldn’t it be jiro🟰asuka as well??? like i think saburo🟰asuka is more obvious since they’re both prideful and condescending lol and it’s loss that makes the both of them stop and reevaluate, but jiro goes thru similar character growth for the same reason, bc bb lost. jiro was also blindly prideful of the mission he ‘took’ from ichiro, what sensenfukoku is all about lol, like in the same way asuka went to war bc they were attacked and that’s all the reason she needed to fight, jiro also hated samatoki bc that’s how ichiro felt and therefore he should as well

since jiro and saburo are often depicted as two sides of the same coin and asuka has enough depth in her character that i think can be shared between the both of them lol

(tho on the point of jiro🟰rei, jiro used to refer to himself as ichiro’s ‘clone’. rei self-destructing and freeing herself from gendo on her own terms could also, if you squint lol, parallel with jiro sacrificing himself for saburo in the first drb since in that moment he wasn’t ichiro’s clone trying to defeat samatoki, but saburo’s big bro trying to protect him but it’s still a goal that aligns with ichiro blah blah blah lol)

nejisasu doodle! a universe where the hyuuga's slavery bs doesn't get ignored and Neji and Sasuke are better off for it (and also they're married)

[infizero]

oblivion theory is the best deltarune theory bcuz every inconsistency with the legend and the knight and everything is just explained away by "this whole premise is fabricated so you'll keep playing the game forever" and it also makes actual perfect sense

holy FUCK

to shape a dragon's breath by moniquill blackgoose is amazing please read it

[thetwilightroadtonightfall]

alrighty, here it is~

🩵 The Overmorrow playlist (on youtube) 🩵

The first 11 are songs that encapsulate the mood of the entire story and its overarching themes, mostly about Eph or literally from his pov (I’m on my hands and knees begging you to listen to King, The Next Right Thing, Quiet, and A Little Closer at the very least 🥺)

The 19 after those are various instrumental tracks I listened to while writing and editing to set ✨ the mood ✨ (I do this for all my fics), more or less in chronological order

And finally, once Overmorrow is finished…I’ll add some bonus songs 😃

Hopefully I’ll be able to host this in a better place suited for music (with no ads!) later on, but this’ll do for now. I really hope you like it!!

Walking In Two Worlds & The Everlasting Road

YA sff set in the near future where an opensource augmented reality is commonly used like social media, and there’s also a completely virtual fantasy game version

follows an Anishinaabe girl who who’s the top player in the VR game, and is constantly fighting to keep her place against the misogynist neo-nazi group in second place

as well as her real life, dealing with being a shy and self-conscious teen growing up on the Rez, and her brother having cancer

and a Uyghur boy who’s moved to her community from China after finding acceptance in an online community (even when he doesn’t agree with their more extreme views) - but when he gets to know Bugz, he has to decide who truly deserves his loyalty

great mix of sff and culture, the future while also very real community traumas of the past (and present)

Came across this GIF and... was Garcia trying for a hand graze?!?! 🥰❤🥰❤🥰 I don't think Lucy knew he was going for that otherwise I don't think she would've moved her hand 😂

But like... Shitmas is the worst, but I will still look at pictures and GIFs of Garcy from it (but I don't think I can watch with audio because hearing shitty dialogue would be extremely triggering for me). I can watch the São Paulo scene though (hello! SCRUFF!), especially how I edit that scene in my fanvid "Nothing Else Matters"

👇

I ramble in the tags, too 😂😂😂😂👇

Genuinely I think when it comes to BG3 fanart there are a lot of artists who, consciously or no, follow the thought process of: see Karlach as big cool fiery muscle person she is -> Racial stereotypes about masculine women kick in -> Suddenly the bone structure in her face is completely different. Like what else could it be.

....idk how to say this w/o sounding concerning, but I just wanna say that I'm truly truly Truly glad I've come to know you.

I'm glad I've come to know the 'silly little gay ppl' on my phone, to put it in a silly way (...that sounds dumb now that i tyoe that jdjhxjdj). I'm glad I've come to know such wonderful people who care, in big ways and small ways, who care so much.

I'm glad I've come to know you, to be able to laugh with you, to create with you. I'm glad I've come to know you.

I'm truly glad.
